Send snaps of youngsters to premier Action against rising prices and plans to gather signatures on the peace petition of the World Peace Congress, were the two main deci- sions reached at the initial meeting of the Grandview chapter of the Congress of Canadian Women, which met Tuesday this week. “We have seven more team organ- ized where similar action will be taken and chapters set up,” said Marie Godfrey, Congress president. “Chapters are being established this week in Hastings East, Colling- wood, North Vancouver, South Van- couver, Dunbar, Mount Pleasant - Fairview, and Victoria Drive.” The Grandview chapter passed a resolution asking the federal gov- ernment to immediately place a ceiling on prices. A copy was sent to Angus McInnis, MP for Vancou- ver East. Plans to send a delega- tion to the city council, together with women from all other, chap- ters of the Congress, were laid. City council will be asked to peti- tion Ottawa for a price ceiling. Pictures of children of members of the Congress are being sent to St. Laurent with fitting slogans such as “We want our children to grow up,” “My child has been im- munized against diphtheria, small- pox, scarlet fever — what about im- munization against the atom bomb” and others. Teas to be held the latter part of this week and early next week in- clude: Friday, July 14, 8 p.m., 2160 East 35th; Monday, July 17, 8 p.m., 226 West 48th Ave.; Wednesday, July 19, 8 p.m., 3117 West 16th. All women are cordially invited to at- |) tend these teas and join the Con- gress of Canadian Women in the fight against rising prices and for Plan national youth paper Plans for a national Canadian youth paper, to be published semi- monthly in Toronto, were endorsed by a meeting of Vancouver youth _ this week, attended by representa- _ tives from Jewish, Ukrainian-Cana- dian, South Slav and Russian-Ca- nadian organizations and the Na- _ tional Federation of Labor Youth. The youth paper, which will be- gin publishing in January, 1951, is expected to play an important role in coordinating activities of various youth groups, and bringing Cana- dian youth into active participation in the fight for peace. _Another meeting of the Vancou- _ ver sponsoring committee will be held July 18 to discuss a campaign to raise $1,000 locally to ensure birth of the new youth paper. - Peace signatures double since attack on Korea NEW YORK Fear that millions of Americans may go up in atom bomb smoke has mounted since Truman. sent United - States boys to die in Korea. Youth _ peace groups in America have, in the past ten days, doubled the num- ber of signatures they previously _ eollected against the A-bomb. _ They have jumped from 100,000 to 200,000 since the news of U.S. armed intervention in Korea. And teen- agers lead the list. : : This is the essence of the story released to the press by the Youth ring Committee for the Sponso. _ World Peace Appeal. “Now is the time,” this group de- _ elared last week, “that our govern- ment should tell the world they _ will never use the A-bomb.” This ship sails on land. Fifty thousand citizens of the Niagara Peninsula district, at- tending the 100th birthday of the town of Thorold, witnessed the spectacular SS WORLD PEACE float built by members of the © Thorold Peace Committee. While the float “sailed” through the streets committee members gathered signatures on the peace peti- tion. WORKING FOR THE PT Kitsilano sub leaders at 1950 half-way mark Kitsilano supporters have secured 42 Pacific Tribune subscriptions in the first. six months of 1950 to lead the province, but right behind them are the seamen from Mari- time club, who have signed up 40 readers in the same period. Ace sub-getter for Kitsilano ig Rita Whyte, with 14 subs to her credit. : . Other clubs in contention for to. honors include West End, with 3 subs; North Vancouver, 36; Nor- quay, 33; Victory Square, 30; Fair- view, 30; Commercial Drive, 28, and Bill Bennett, 22. The sub race gathered speed this week, 45 renewals and new subs coming in, compared with 31 the previous week. Grandview turned in four to tie with North Vancou- ver in fhe city, but Nanaimo grab- bed first place with six. Here’s the week’s score: Greater Vancouver: Grandview 4, North Vancouver 4, Kitsilano 3, Victory Square 2, ‘Bill Bennett 2, Norquay 2, Commercial Drive 2, Ship and Steel 2, Olgin 1, Civic Workers 1, West End 1, Fairview 1, and miscellaneous 7. RS Province: Nanaimo 6, Aldergrove 2, Victoria 1, Alberni 1, Salmon Arm 1, Kelowna 1 and Michel 1, Sub-getters tell us that the Ko- rean situation helps in winning new readers. “The people don’t believe the stories in the daily press, and are looking for a paper like the Pacific Tribune, which gives the facts on Korea,” they say. The upswing in circulation is en- couraging, but our paper still reaches far too few citizens. With the danger of a third world war hanging over our heads, the fight for peace demands that hundreds of new readers be won for the Pacific Tribune. Think what it would: mean if every reader made up his mind to win just ONE new reader! It can be done; we must do it. ; Weyerhaeuser uses war as back-to-work lever SEATTLE Use of war hysteria, arising out of the U.S. attack on the Korean people, to heat up its “back to work” movement is the next propa- ganda shot in the locker of the powerful Weyerhaeuser corpora- tion. In an effort to find soft spots in the solid line of 9000 International Woodworkers of America members who have been on the bricks for a month, the corporation is aiming its heaviest fire at Klamath Falls, Ore., and Vail, Wash. All of the strikers, however, are receiving a steady stream of letters from the company with the ob- jective of splitting the unity which has slammed down its sawmills, camps and log dumps under the jurisdiction of the IWA. ‘The Weyerhaeuser labor relations experts are now preparing to use “war needs” to get the workers to accept the corporation’s “generous” offer on a local union basis and get back on the job. PT Clippers win one, lose one, sit firmly in second place Pacific Tribune Clippers, sitting securely in second place in. the Junior A baseball league, dropped a game to Swansons last Friday but came back to edge Burnaby on Monday night. ~ Sid Sheard hurled a good game |for the Clippers against Swansons at Powell Street grounds, allowing only one hit, but his own gang spent most of the evening swinging at the ozone, and Swansons came out on top, 3-0. On Monday night it was a differ- ent story. Rookie pitcher Ray Hill- . worth was on the mound for the PT and Len Pye handled the catch- ing chores. Plenty of wood met horsehide during the game and the Clippers squeezed through with a 7-6 win. : In future games, PT Clippers play Hammond at Powell Street cn July 14; at Powell Street cm July 17; Co ae Collingwood on July 19; Swansons at Powell Street on July 21, and Acme at Powell Street on July 31. Leading team is Acme, with the PT’s right behind them in second leader Nelson Clarke. that it was South Korea that St. Laurent counterposed the word of the “UN Commission” in Korea, though Canada herself walked out of the temporary UN Commission two years ago in pro- test at its illegal actions. He said Nelson Clarke wasn’t there when it started. The prime minister dodged the leaflet’s argument that the action of the Security Council was a viola- ation of Article 27 of the UN Char- ter which declares that “Decisions of the Security Council on all mat- ters (other. than purely procedural) shall be made by an affirmative vote of seven members including the concurring votes of the permanent members.” He had nothing to say about admission of the Chinese People’s Republic to its rightful place in the Security Council. In reply to the direct question: “Will your government agree to brand as a war criminal that gov- ernment ,whoever it may be, which first drops an atomic bomb upon the people of any country?”, St. Laurent red-baited the Peace Con- gress despite the fact that 20,000 citizens of Saskatchewan have signed the ban the bomb petition. He said well-meaning people are being led astray by the peace cam- paign. The leaflet asked St. Laurent if he would talk about these great issues, “or will you (as you usually do) deal in anti-Communist clap- trap, sabre-rattling and double. talk?” The audience listened coldly as St. Laurent fulfilled the latter prediction of the leaflet, many peo- LPP peace leaflets put St. Laurent on defensive Flustered and ill at ease, Prime Minister Louis St. Lau- rent devoted almost his entire speech here last week to an effort to reply to a leaflet issued on the picnic grounds by the Labor-Progressive party over the signature of provincial The leaflet, headed, “Mr. St. Laurent, Tell the Truth”, demanded that St. Laurent tell his audience SASKATOON started the present war. ple getting up and walking im- patiently about the Forestry Farm lawn. A sporadic effort on the part of a claque sitting on the platform behind the prime minister to whip up applause fell very flat. Sign for peace in Saskatoon SASKATOON The peace petition campaign ,is beginning to roll here. In Saskatoon Canvassers are hitting the streets two nights a week. They report that since the outbreak of war in Korea, — people are more willing than ever to sign the petition. The feeling is that now the urgency of banning the bomb is greater than ever be- fore. One Riverhurst man, W. K. Bryce, utilizing the July 1 celebra- tion in his community secured 200 names. Eight out of 10 of the people approached were willing to sign, he reports. — Many hundreds of signatures were gained following the great Doukhobor rally addressed by Dr. James G. Endicott at Veregin on the occasion of the _ traditional Doukhobor holiday, Peter’s Day, which commemorates the occasion on which the Doukhobors in the Tsarist army stacked up their rifles and burned them as a demonstra- tion for peace.
